These guys were in a little tank together and are clearly not happy. Is this a fungus? I've sprayed them with some fungicide and the new leaves haven't spotched over yet.
None of my bicalcs look good even though they're pitchering. Only the one in the photo was in the tank with the...
You'll get half of this pot... err recycled barbecue container. I'll cut it right down the middle. The stolons are green because I gave it too much light, and now that I moved it to the shade the new stolons are showing purple veins again.
I'm looking for.. uhhh... I dunno just whatever...
Hey guys. I have no idea where to put this.
Has anyone ever tried culturing Trichoderma in a jar as one would culture mushrooms like Shitake or Oyster or something? I'm kindly being sent some Trichoderma granules for my new cephalotus and I was told they can be cultured on cornmeal. Plain or...
I recently noticed that there was a lot of white fuzzy stuff around one of my VFTs. It seemed like too much to be the work of fungus gnats. I took some pictures before scraping it off. I know I should probably consult some books before asking the internet, but, internet, do you think I should...
Hello.
About three weeks ago I decided to take cuttings from my Nepenthes tobaica. I followed the instructions exactly how they appear on Peter D'Amato's book 'The Savage Garden'. I even used a rooting hormone (but not a fungicide). I planted the cuttings in pure vermiculite, covered them with a...
Hi,
I just planted my first nep seeds and was wondering with such a long time before germination, should/could I use ortho fungicide on the seeds?
I don't know if it's safe for nep seeds but have used it on drosera and sarra seeds during stratification because I had fungus problems.
thanks,

Hey all,
I've come across a brand of fungicide recently that's supposed to be relatively safe for all sorts of things from veggies to ornamentals and fruits. The active ingredient is some strain of bacillus subtilis, which I've not seen or heard too much about. Says it even helps to control...
A few days ago I spotted this blackening on the newest emerging left of my N. lowii x truncata.
Any idea what's wrong? I've already sprayed the plant with fungicide...
Thanks!
Ok someone is going to ship me 50 D. burmannii seeds and these are my first time with seed growing. Here is a list of copy and pasted questions I sent him so if yall could answer them also and tell me anything else I should know like dromancy.
When should I put them in the ground? How long...
Hi,
Whats a good fungicide to eliminate rust spot and is nep safe, preferably one I could find at home depot?
I've been procrastinating on the rust spot issue but it's just getting worse.
Thanks!
Hi to everyone. It looks from the posts I've seen (lurking for a few hours now) that there is definitely a wealth of vft knowledge here. To that end, I'm hoping some of you can give me some advice on fungicide and mildew.
Let me offer some background: I've recently acquired (rescued?) some...
Just wondering if anyone has ever used cinnamon as fungicide ... :P

Oh and while we're on the subject of fungicide, here are a couple more questions.
1) Are there any household products that can be used as fungicides? and how effective are they? Read...
I have my n. predator in a 8in hanging basket. It was in LFS. Well I started to notice that there are something like rust looking spots and then the new leaf (growth) started to turn black and mushy along with some of the older leave. I think the problem is that I had too much water in the tray...
Hey everyone, I have another newbie question to ask.
First off, I went to the local pharmacy and picked up a jug of distilled water which also hapens to be ozonated. Now my questions are:
1) Is this safe for the vft? (Am thinking that its safe but I want to doublecheck)
2) Should I use...
i'll be keeping my VFT indoors and i was wondering if it is necessary to prepare my plant for the dormancy months?
Also i've read from http://www.botany.org/bsa/misc/carn.html that small slugs are also suitable for the plant and i wanted to see if anyone has ever fed their VFT slugs?
Hi, I have a thor x aristo which has been growing slowly for the past few months. It came as a long stem with two basals. The two basals have since grown large and are pitchering, but the main stem is dying away.
Today, I spotted what is apparently blackening on the stem of the two basals...
Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm fairly new to cp growing and am looking for a fungicide that will be safe to use with my plants. I know that Cleary 3336WP is what everyone seems to recommend, but I can't seem to find it for sale anywhere, in small quantities that is. I...
I know there is still lots of time before Dionaea's should go into winter dormancy, but I want to ask this question now so that I know the facts early.
My plants are growing in a terrarium. I have had them since April, and they are doing fine. The conditions during winter where I live are NOT...
I over-estimated the amount of soil mixture I needed to repot a ping. Can I store this damp peat-perlite mixture in, say, a ziploc bag for later? should I let it dry out first, or spray it with fungicide, or anything like that?
